WAL about the Six Thinking Hats

On Thursday, we went to Tabloid Sports.  We used four of the Thinking Hats to reflect on this experience.  Here is our thinking:


White Hat = Information:

• The tabloid sports were at Our Lady of Lourdes School
• We did exercises to start with in the Hall
• There were lots of choldren there, from St Mary's, St Joseph's St James', and Our lady of Lourdes.
• The big children from St Peter's showed us what to do.
• We went in the bus.

Yellow Hat = Good points:

• We did lots of fun activities.
• the sunshine came!
• We joined in with lots of schools.
• The teams had children from all the schools in them.
• The St Peter's children showed us what to do.
• We got to play on the Our Lady of Lourdes playgrounds.

Red Hat = Feelings:

• "I felt excited because Mum came to watch and help".
• "I felt nervous when I got off the bus because I thought I might mess up in the games.  But then I saw it was fun".
• " I felt happy because a friend from playgroup was in the same team as me".
• "I felt happy to see chioldren from St Petrer's who my dad teaches".
• " I felt nervous about children pushing".
• "I felt happy and amazed that I knew some of the St Peter's leaders".
• "I felt scared on the big playground".

Green Hat = new Ideas:

• There could be some different activities like a bike activity; swimming or pool activities; running races; bat and ball activities like hockey
• We could have our morning tea break earlier because we got quite hungry and thirsty!

WAL about 6 Hat Thinking

On Friday at Assembly, we shared our thinking about Assembly!  We used four of the Thinking Hats, and made hats with newspaper to match our ideas.

Ciaran - Assembly happens on Fridays at 2 o'clock in the Hall.
Jacob - The whole school goes to Assembly.
Monet - We use the microphone.
Holly - We sing and pray.
Isabella - Some family members and visitors come.
Samuel - Classes share their learning.

Emily - We learn new things from other learners.
Linnea - It is a chance to share our learning with the school and our families.
Sofia - We get to sing fun songs.
Bradley - We get a chance to sit up the front.
Darius - It's a time to talk to God together as a school.
Rachel - The whole school gets together.

Stevie - I feel happy to know we will have a turn to share at Assembly.
Isabelle - I feel nervous because I might forget what to do or say.
Gihara - I feel excited because I can see what other learners are doing.
Ella - I feel nervous up the front.
William - I feel happy to share my learning up the front.
Zachary - I feel happy because it is exciting.

Ani - We could decorate the Hall.
Jasmine - We could have music playing while people arrive.
Luke - Assembly could start earlier or be after morning tea.
Kiwa - The class who is presenting could sit on chairs.
Tyrah - We could have welcomers at the door.

We might try some of our Green Hat creative thinking ideas next time we share at Assembly!
